I almost turned this episode off halfway through and gave up on the series. The story was close to nonexistent or rather, seemingly so, characters ambling through scenes that seemed inconsequential to the narrative.
-A salesman pimping the way of the future -Helen Mirren's theorizing on why his way will make that future an apocalypse -Driving out into the middle of nowhere in the most dangerous place on earth to look at footprints (a trip that Spencer surely would've seen it as literally poking the lion and never would have taken)
But then the last fifteen minutes came, wiped away all that plodding nonsense and blew me away. My skin tingled all over. I was sitting rigidly upright without any memory of moving into that position. By the very end, tears made very real threats to escape my eyes, and that is extremely rare.
I hope this episode is an omen portending the quality of storytelling coming our way in 2023.
Happy New Year!
